Cool And Crisp Broccoli Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water alongside. Add the broccoli to the pot and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes, just until bright green and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli to the ice water to shock. Drain well.
• Place the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the mascarpone, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and salt. Add the broccoli, pancetta, reserved fat, cranberries, walnuts and gorgonzola. Toss well to coat and combine.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower eggs into water with a slotted spoon and cook 8 minutes for medium-cooked or 9 minutes for hard-cooked. Transfer eggs with slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water and let cool.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. (Or, heat a grill pan over high.) Place broccoli in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper over; toss to coat. Grill, undisturbed, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on opposite side until charred in spots and broccoli is just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Peel eggs and coarsely chop; transfer to a medium bowl. Add pickles, scallions, mayonnaise, dill, mustard, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
• To serve, spoon egg salad on a platter and arrange broccoli on top. Drizzle with chili crisp as desired, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with bread.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard bacon fat or reserve for another use. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces.
• Meanwhile, add broccoli to boiling water and cook until bright green, 1 minute. Rinse under cold water until cool (or transfer to an ice bath). Drain broccoli well and pat dry.
• In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, onion, vinegar and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli, cheese, raisins and sunflower seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (If time allows, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.)
• Transfer broccoli salad to a serving bowl or platter. Top with bacon. Salad can be served immediately, or refrigerated and served chilled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the ground almonds and garam masala together with some seasoning. Stir the broccoli pieces with the egg to coat, then in the almond mix. Tip onto a lined baking tray and put into the oven to roast for 15 mins.
• Mix the onion with half the lemon juice and a splash of water, then set aside to lightly pickle. Mix the remaining lemon juice with the yogurt, season and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooked mixed grains with the rocket and most of the red onion. Drizzle in half the dressing, toss, then tip onto a serving plate and top with the crispy broccoli. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, mint leaves and a final scattering of red onion slices.
